“This Inaugural charity concert will be an exciting event that will increase the awareness of leukemia and the many ways that the community can assist in the fight against this disease.” said Tiffaney Dale Hunter. “The funds raised will go directly towards leukemia research and aid for patients that are right here in our home state of Texas.”
In addition to awarding millions of dollars to leukemia patients and scientific researchers, Leukemia Texas is also known for its spectacular fundraising events that include “The Beat Leukemia Ball” and “The Leukemia Texas Golf Classic”. This year’s Inaugural “Beat Leukemia Concert for a Cure” is being supported by presenting sponsor McGladrey LLP and is certain to be just as amazing with an energetic evening filled with exciting highlights that include lively entertainment by Good Question Band, tantalizing appetizers provided by LARK on the Park, signature cocktails and exciting giveaways. Guests will also hear inspiring testimonials from leukemia survivors and have the opportunity to text donations, while receiving cheek swabs that assist in finding and matching bone marrow donors.
